EtherCAT Input Digital Sinusoidal Brushless Servo Amplifiers

The DZSANTU-020B080 digital servo drive is designed to drive brushed and brushless servomotors from a compact form factor ideal for embedded applications. This fully digital drive operates in torque, velocity, or position mode and employs Space Vector Modulation (SVM), which results in higher bus voltage utilization and reduced heat dissipation compared to traditional PWM. The command source can be generated internally or can be supplied externally. In addition to motor control, this drive features dedicated and programmable digital and analog inputs and outputs to enhance interfacing with external controllers and devices.

The DZSANTU-020B080 supports ADVANCED Motion Controls exclusive ‘DxM’ technology which allows connectivity of up to 3 DZSANTU-020B080 drives to a single DZEANTU-020B080 on an EtherCAT® network. DZSANTU-020B080 drives receive commands from a DZEANTU-020B080 over a high speed communication interface, allowing for up to 4 axes of servo drive control from a single EtherCAT connection. Drive commissioning and setup is accomplished through a USB interface using DriveWare available for download at www.a-m-c.com.

Exclusive ‘DxM’ technology requires only one DZEANTU-020B080 network connection as the node but allows connectivity for up to an additional 3 sub-node axes. Demultiplexed Motion technology provides the same performance but at a lower cost for up to 4 axes of servo drive control from a single EtherCAT® connection. The sub-node servo drive axis model is DZSANTU-020B080
